1. OK - the idea of 10 blogs was brilliant, and I'm crushed and jealous I didn't think of that first.
2. Rachael Ray! I'm not alone!
3. Babette's Feast is my number one of all time "makes me want to eat everything in sight" movie.
Bet
9-4. Are you sure you didn't mean "saba shioyaki" when you said "broiled mackerel"?
7-7. I am suspicious of Rachael Ray. There is something wrong with that woman, yet I do not know what.
6-1. Funny, that song reminds me of a semi-main street I live near...
I decline to be tagged, probably because I couldn't/wouldn't fill out half of these lists.
Bet:
1) There's nothing stopping you from doing a top ten blogs, too. Everyone can join the fun!
3) And Tampopo! How the hell did I forget Tampopo!
Tony:
9-4: Actually, I've never had saba shioyaki. I always see it on the menu at restaurants and want to order it, but never do for some reason. I was instead thinking of my family sticking a whole mackerel (with head and all) on a grill or under a broiler. Yum!
6-1: Get out of here!
PS
Tony: It's OK if you decline the tag. This was a hard meme.
6-1: Get out of here!
Let's try that again, this time with more New York accent, and a bit more nasal.
Another America's Test Kitchen fan! I love that show, and the magazine is nifty too.
I'm with whoever said that there's something very off about Rachael Ray. Her and Giada De Laurentis. Something demonic and podlike about them both.
